The Prodigies War-Chapter 1472 Corpse of Saint-King

Boom!

As the golden cicada youth departed, the grand, ancient Ten Thousand Tribulation Palace collapsed with a column of smoke and dust that filled the sky.

Lin Xun stood rooted to the spot, his emotions rising and falling.

His Mulberry Woodland experience was as bizarre and incredible as a dream; it did not feel real at all.

First, he fell into the Ten Thousand Tribulation Abyss and through the Blameless Lamp attracted seven fierce creatures to follow him along the way.

Later, he found out that the seven fierce creatures were actually powerful and tyrannical figures who had protected the Ten Thousand Tribulation Great Emperor back then.

They each had an extraordinary and impressive background!

But due to the suppression of the taboo power, they had become half spirit and half human, and were unable to awaken their own consciousness.

It was only with the help of the Blameless Lamp that they regained a sense of consciousness and found their way home.

Before leaving, they each gave Lin Xun a ‘token of gratitude.’

The golden cicada youth advised Lin Xun that the tokens would be of great use in the future.

When Lin Xun arrived at the entrance to the Ten Thousand Tribulation Palace, he witnessed a true battle between Quasi-Emperors, and also met several unparalleled terrifying and influential figures.

For example, the blood-colored moth who turned into a young man in white called Fei Lan. Ancestor Blood Lotus who looked like a young child and had a blood lotus leaf on his head. Thousand Feather Sword Flower whose petals spewed out billions of misty sword qi...

Everything astonished Lin Xun and shocked him to the core.

When the golden cicada youth appeared, Lin Xun truly agreed with the saying ‘Listening to the words of a wise person is superior to ten years of studying.’

The golden cicada youth explained the stages of cultivation as well as elaborated on the path to sainthood. The seemingly casual chat with him was tantamount to an ancient sage sharing his wisdom.

Then, Lin Xun climbed up the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine stone steps. The arduous ascent transformed his physical cultivation, and he broke through to the ninth longevity tribulation stage.

Finally, before the palace door, he awakened his innate divine power of Time Stopping!

The awakening of Time Stopping could be regarded as one of Lin Xun’s greatest gains in this trip because the power of that innate talent was truly heaven-defying and beyond terrifying.

Then, under the leadership of the golden cicada youth, Lin Xun saw the table and praying mat that had accompanied the Ten Thousand Tribulation Great Emperor throughout his life. He also learned about his past achievements and stories...

When he came across the bowl of the Ten Thousand Tribulation Transformed World, he realized that a true emperor tool could create such a mysterious and incredible world—

The Ten Thousand Tribulation Purgatory!

It was also in the Ten Thousand Tribulation Purgatory that he, with the help of a group of Quasi-Emperors, overcame the Taboo Dao Tribulation that had been troubling him for a long time without any danger.

Zhao Yuanji also took advantage of the moment to seize the great opportunity and pass the Sever Dao Tribulation. The Emperor Stage was now in sight.

The golden cicada youth also took the opportunity to break through the Confinement Barrier Tribulation, ascend the sky, and embark on the mysterious Ancient Nebula Road... f(r)eeweb(n)ovel

Everything that happened was too unbelievable.

But when Lin Xun thought about it, he somehow felt that everything unfolded within the plan and predication of the golden cicada youth. It felt natural and expected.

No one ever felt a trace of anxiousness or uncertainty, and Lin Xun had never felt a sense of panic or suddenness.

This in itself was incredible.

Some people gave a feeling of ease even by just standing there, as if whatever happened would not be a problem!

After a long period of silence, Lin Xun couldn’t help but murmur, “He is truly an extraordinary person...”

The golden cicada young man radiated a calming power that made people submit without even realizing it.

It did not matter whether he was an Emperor-Stage existence or not.

“Elder, I will definitely do what you entrusted me with.”

Lin Xun drew a deep breath and carefully placed the ice snow leaf in his palm into the Nameless Pagoda.

This leaf would carry out its role when the Conflict of the Nine Domains came!

After a while, Lin Xun turned around and left.

It was time to leave. The great opportunity in Mulberry Woodland had come to an end, and there was no reason in staying any longer.

He carefully tread along the path he came from.

When he traveled earlier, he had the protection of the seven fierce creatures and thus enjoyed a safe and sound journey.

But now, he could not guarantee whether he would encounter any troubles or dangers along the way.

However, as he moved forward, he found that the gray mist that shrouded the world of Mulberry Woodland was gradually subsiding.

This mysterious and unpredictable world seemed to have lost its spine-chilling power and became dull and nothing special.

“The token that Lone Man gave me was not put to good use...”

Lin Xun played around with a token in his hand and couldn’t help but smile. It’s better not to use it. There will definitely be a chance to in the future

Suddenly, the clatter of a fierce battle sounded in the distance.

Lin Xun trembled inwardly, and his whole body tensed up. Without wavering, he armed himself with the No-Nonsense Bow and the Biluo Arrow.

He had not forgotten that Zhao Xingye had once said that, in Mulberry Woodland, there were not only Quasi-Emperors, but also Saints, Big Saints, and Saint-Kings!

However, just when Lin Xun was about to take a detour around the battlefield, he heard a familiar voice.

A strange look crossed his face. It’s them!

After contemplating for a moment, he quietly approached the battlefield.

......

It was a gray, barren wilderness area. A tremendous beast corpse was spread across the ground. It seemed to have just died as blood was still flowing out from its mountain-like body.

“Hahaha, those Quasi-Emperors faced the Sever Dao Tribulation, but because of that tribulation, the powerful creatures dormant in Mulberry Woodland also suffered as a result and were struck dead!”

Niu Zhenyu laughed, “Those were all fierce Big Saints and Saint-Kings characters. But now they’re dead and have benefited me!”

His eyes glittered with greed.

The huge corpse was a terrifying creature with a cultivation of the Saint-King Stage who had died in the recent tribulation.

It was a corpse, but to Niu Zhenyu, it was a priceless treasure!

Every inch of a Saint-King’s body—the flesh, skin and fur, was imbued with the law power of the Saint Path. Once extracted, it could not only be used to concoct pills, but also to craft treasures. It had immeasurable uses.

Niu Tuntian, who was beside him, looked at him enviously.

Opposite him, Dark Blood Magi Saint said in a hoarse voice, “We have searched for a long time and finally found a relatively intact corpse. It is indeed a great treasure.”

His face was pale and in poor health, but his eyes were glowing with excitement.

Previously, when the Sever Dao Tribulation descended, they were so frightened that their souls almost left their bodies.

But soon, they discovered that, perhaps because they were too weak, they were not targeted by the taboo tribulation.

Almost all of the powerful creatures throughout Mulberry Woodland were wiped out by the taboo tribulation, and most died without a complete corpse!

Imaginably, the Sever Dao Tribulation was terrifying.

It was clearly aimed at cultivators of the Quasi-Emperor stage, but it also affected other living beings nearby. Many met with disaster under the impact of the tribulation power.

The Saint-King before them died a less tragic death than most. At least, it still had a relatively intact corpse left behind.

This was precisely why Niu Zhenyu and Dark Blood Magi Saint were so excited.

Naturally, they would not dare to compete with the Quasi-Emperors for the great opportunity, so they were delighted to be able to take advantage of this chance to collect some treasures.

For example, the Saint-King corpse before them!

Suddenly, Niu Zhenyu put away his smile and looked at the Dark Blood Magi Saint who was not far away. His voice was calm, but there was a hint of threat in his tone, “I want this corpse. Do you have any objections, fellow cultivator Dark Blood Magi Saint?”

The smile on the Dark Blood Magi Saint’s wrinkly face froze.

Immediately, the atmosphere turned tense.

The faces of Guang Fuqing and An Lingzhen darkened with anger and shock.

Dark Blood Magi Saint took a deep breath after some time and negotiated, “Fellow Daoist, we discovered this corpse first. You can have it if you want, but you have to share it with us.”

Niu Zhenyu snorted out loud and his face turned ice-cold. “Old guy, if it weren’t for the fact that our two camps have worked together before, do you think I would even discuss it with you?”

After a pause, he continued, his face devoid of emotions, “If we settle this with violence, then it will be difficult for you to leave here alive, let alone get your hands on the treasure.”

Dark Blood Magi Saint’s face grew increasingly overcast and finally he forced a smile, “Fine, fellow daoist, you can have the corpse.”

As soon as he said it, he felt his heart bleeding.

If he hadn’t been badly wounded by Zhao Xingye and then suffered a sneak-attack from the little bastard with the surname Lin, causing his dao foundation to be damaged and his vitality sapped, would he be threatened by Niu Zhenyu like that?

“A wise man submits to circumstances. Old man, you are smart.” Niu Zhenyu laughed triumphantly.

Although he had also been wounded by Zhao Xingye, he had absolute confidence that he could overpower Dark Blood Magi Saint right now. This was the reason why he dared to seize the treasure in front of him.

In the shadows, Lin Xun saw everything and almost couldn’t help laughing out loud. Interesting, the two Saints are at each other’s throats.

In particular, Dark Blood Magi Saint’s expression looks so ugly, as if his parents had just died.

But then, Lin Xun narrowed his eyes.

Niu Zhenyu flicked his sleeve and brought a beam of light enveloping the body of the Saint-King. Just as he was about to put it away, something changed.

The corpse exploded into pieces, and as blood rained across the sky, a terrifying aura of disaster spread outwards.

Niu Zhenyu subconsciously dodged while in a panic, but the taboo aura still clung to him.

He instantly let out a shrill scream.

One of his arms had been reduced into ashes in the blink of an eye!

Dark Blood Magi Saint was aghast by the unexpected scene, but then a mocking smile came to his face, “Ha, it seems that this treasure is not easy to get your hands on.”

“Old thing, do you want to die?” Niu Zhenyu thundered. He not only failed to obtain the treasure, but also lost an arm. If he hadn’t moved fast enough, he would have also lost his life.

How could he not be enraged?

“You’re missing an arm, now...do you still want to threaten me?” Dark Blood Magi Saint uttered coldly, his face twisting into a menacing expression.
